Flowers Under the Attic
If you thought the days of taking the orange (or blue) line down to Pilsen to see mind-blowing art/noise/rock spectacles were over after Texas Ballroom closed its doors, it’s time to feel like it’s 2002 all over again, because there’s a new roof over your heads, and its called the Flowershop (2159 W. 21st Place [at Leavitt] – Pink or Blue line to Damen stop). Believe it or not, the name is functional, not conceptual – the shows actually take place in the greenhouse of a flower shop! Please check your throwing-stones at the door.
This Friday (February 9, 9:00 p.m., $6 suggested donation), prepare thyself to deal with four miracles, as Lambsbread ride west from Columbus, Ohio to batter skulls with the thighbones of Eloe Omoe (the Sun Ra sideman or the No Wave duo, your choice); Locrian spin webs of rainy-day elegy from piles of guitar-based slippery (Robert) Frippery; Mark Solotroff and Jason Soliday rep for their respective home-teams in a microphones vs. micro-tones cage match that’s sure to incite the audience’s thirst for blood; and Binges chop and dice the history of improvised jazz into pungent bouquets for sensitive folks with noses for ears.
